Title: SPLASH Field Study; Snow-level FMCW Radar Moments at Kettle Ponds, Colorado, 2021-09-29 to 2023-09-06 (NCEI Accession 0289123)
Abstract: From fall 2021 through summer 2023, NOAA and research partners conducted a field study (SPLASH - the Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere and Surface for Hydrometeorology). This field study established a state-of-the-art observing network in the East River watershed of the Colorado mountains with a goal of advancing weather and water prediction capabilities in areas with complex terrain. The ultimate goal of this project is improved prediction of weather and water in the Colorado mountains and beyond to inform societal preparedness and response.

Among the measurements taken in this study were Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) Radar Moments (reflectivity, radial velocity, and spectral width) at the Kettle Ponds, Colorado site.
